From: Access to health care for people with disabilities in rural Malawi: what are the barriers?
Barrier to health care access (Key Findings of this study) | Delays (as described in Thaddeus & Maine’s Three Delays model [8]) extended by this barrier | Dimensions and abilities of accessibility (as described by Levesque et al. [9]) hindered by this barrier |
|---|---|---|
Key Finding 1: Cost as a barrier | 2nd delay (arrival at a health facility) | Affordability Ability to reach Ability to pay |
